      Not that goofy. Looks like a wheel/tire combo that a VW guy would go after.

      Reminds me of my Reversed 15x10 Daytons with 225/50-15 tires stretched that I ran on my truck back around 1995.

      Waiting for More PICS!!!

      We do enjoy our tire stretching... and that is some extreme stretching!
      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.

      i was going to wait untill i had some more pictures up, but i'll go ahead and discuss whats up so far.

      Rubbing. Not Major rubbing, but light rubbing none the less. They build these Aveos with a real soft rear suspension, and it rubs on corners. I was real suprised that it rubbs in the rear. Anyone with the GR2 rears... are they fairly stiff? seems to me the rear is coming down mid corner and lightly scrubbing the rear fenders.

      ...that said, might keep it stock height.... if its lightly rubbing i couldnt imagine what it would do lowered.
      we shall see!

      need to figure out where the bump stop is in the rear... looking at a bigger bump stop, roll the rear quarter a little, possibly, spring spacer for a slightly stiffer rear!... im only just touching, some small stuff needed to see what happens

      describe how it happened. Were you in a high speed sweeping turn? or pot hole? may be just braking hard. it'd be interesting to hear.
